This is very interesting to note that the first REALperformance of the tuba was in 1864/1865! I couldn't believe that the tuba is that old! I am a music teacher in Texas at the Houston school of fine arts and just went over how beautiful the "Tuba" really is! I hope this helps, and keep playing! (That is if you really DO play the Tuba.)
